hello ..i have a doubt ....to get FFA in percentage wew have to use the same formula and also FFA does not have any unit....another question can i use formula for the estimation of FFA in Pearl millet flour..? kindly give me a suggestion...
Hello, I have some questions. What is the difference between normality and molarity? What is the purpose of standardizing the solution? Finally, why do we need to do the first titration of the ethanol?
1. You can find the difference between normality and molary from google. 2. Purpose of stadardization is to know the exact concentration of any solution. 3. Normally ethanol is slightly acidic. So first titration of ethanol is done to make the ethanol neutral as if it does not interfare the acidity of our oil sample.
Also, may I ask where you got the expected acid values from? I need a citation. Can you please also explain the formula in the calculation section? Thank you very much for your help. I appreciate it :)
@@mysticforest6345 Search on Google and find the reference value from journals and publications. You can also find it from countrys standard of that sample.
Hi, thanks for the video. Why do we boil the ethanol-sample solution and what percent phenolphthalein solution are you using? Also, can I neutralize ethanol using KOH instead of NaOH? Thanks again!
Please check my procedure to help me whether i am right or wrong. I at first take 99% etanol and add it to 5 gm oil sample. Then heat it for 7-10 minutes and then add 1 ml 1% or 5% phenolphthalein indicators and carried out titration Against KOH. Then a blank titration is done. Volume of KOH = KOH required for the test - KOH for blank. Say KOH for Sample = 0.8 KOH for blank = 0.2 Volume of KOH = 0.6 I then use the following formula ACV = Molarity of KOH * Volume of KOH * Molecular weight of KOH / sample weight. In this i Don't need to neutralise the alcohol as i carried out a blank experiment.
Boiling of oil with ethanol will not facilitate to dissolve the oil completely. So no worries about it. Perform the test according to our video. You will get the accurate result.
When I needed to get Acid value in our laboratory for fats I used 0.1 N NaOH for titration , but when I calculated I multiple by 56.1 . our specification in our laboratory said that. Is that right?
But why ? Please give me the reason I think when you titrated with 0.1 NaOH you multiple by 40.001. so I said to my boss that our specification is wrong because we multiple by 56.1
Fats/oils don't dissolve fully in ethanol at room temperature but do dissolve at the boiling point of ethanol. For this test to be accurate, the oil needs to be fully dissolved in the ethanol, so the ethanol is heated to its boiling point to ensure the oil is all dissolved.
When the sample is prepared you are boiling it, but my experiment wants to see the effect of frying on acid value so is it possible to do it in a different way to prevent boiling of the sample?
Great video still have question when I want to measure the acid value of candelilla wax it starts to solidified in the middle of titration ? How to solve this ? And will it affect 9n acid value?
I really love your easy methods. Please help with this question. Based on this method , my expected acid value is 15-75. Will it be right to use 0.5g of sample and 50 ml of ethanol?
Thanks so much for sharing, we dissolve sample with solvent may be (hot ethanol) or a mixture of 96%ethanol and diethyether(1:1)...and heating the sample with solvents if necessary by gentl heating about 40°c.. Because high temperature destroy triglyceride and realise free fatty acid ..
Yes. Standardization of NaOH is must. We didn't show the procedure of standardization in this video. We just mentioned that standardization is needed. We developed another video for the standardization of NaOH and already uploaded in this channel. Please find the video if needed. Thank you
Hi. I am completing a similar titration to measure a change in acid value of canola oil after oxidising it in a microwave, and have encountered some dilemmas. After neutralising the ethanol with my NaOH base, I've been mixing 40ml's of it with 10ml of oil, titrating it with NaOH. I did not heat the solution. For the acidification of the oil, I used 50ml of it and left it in the microwave for between 30 and 150 seconds, but when I titrated these samples, no noticeable change in titre value was detected. Will the titration actually be able to detect a change in acidity after taking the oil samples from the microwave, or did I just not oxidise the samples long enough? Also is it necessary to heat the ethanol before mixing it with the oil to dissolve it properly? Should I try a greater ratio of ethanol to oil, or will it be too much ethanol to detect any changes in the oil sample? Thank you for your time. I hate to be something of a burden but I do need a response within a day or so, but clearly I am within no right to expect that. I appreciate any efforts to assist me.
We never tried intentionally oxidation of oil. So we dont have any experience about it. But we think that the difference should be noticable in your experiment. Please conduct your experiment again following this video strictly. Increase the oxidation time of your sample. Dont use excess ethanol. Use 50ml nutralized ethanol for 10ml sample and heat the ethanol before mixing with sample. Dont keep any change of the method described in this video. We hope that you will find difference between two different conditions of oil.
@@MicroChemsExperiments Thank you for your quick reply and explicit instruction. I will be sure to re-evaluate my method and follow the instructions of the video more precisely, with the ratios you've outlined. Thank you very much again for your response and kind words. 👍
@@MicroChemsExperiments Sorry to bother you again, but I just had a few further questions questions that have arisen as a result of some continued investigation, if you are willing to answer them. Primarily, I noticed that no element of the formula used to calculate acid value actually accounts for the particular oil to ethanol ratio, but from my experiments, increasing the amount of oil in the solution lead to an increase in the amount of NaOH used? Fortunately, for my experiment I've found that a 1:5 ratio has yielded results that work well in the calculations thus far, but someone suggested that I should test this with different ratios to further confirm the acid value, but I noticed the formula won't actually account for the ratio. It also doesn't account for the total volume of the oil/ethanol solution. Is there a way to calculate Acid Value to account for changes ratio's and solution volume? If not, I understand. Also, for the calculation of the amount of Oleic Acid present in the sample, is the formula the same as for the calculation of the Acid Value, just replacing the Molar Mass of NaOH with the mass of Oleic Acid? If so, would you be able to give a brief explanation why? Furthermore, If you have the time, I was just wondering why the solution needs to be heated? Is it just to increase the solubility of the oil? Could the ethanol be preheated to 95ºC and then be mixed with the oil? When I heat my 60ml samples for 10 minutes on a hotplate at 150ºC, I still notice some oil not completely dissolved? Should I wait until the bubbling becomes more aggressive? I greatly appreciate your efforts thus far and hope not to disturb you too much further after these comments. I understand I ask a lot, and am grateful for your efforts. Thank you very much for your time and I look forward to your response.
I did acid value today on hydrogenated vegetable oil as per USP method. United States pharmacopeia. They say to melt the sample (was in powder form) and add 100 ml of hot alcohol previously neutralized with NaOH, to phenolphthalein ts. Then add 1 ml of the indicator. How would you interpret this? Do I add the naoh to the alcohol first and then heat or do I add after heating? And the indicator after heating? Pls help. I think I messed up here somewhere so it didn't pass
thank you for this clarifying experiment, i have a question, you used 10 g of oil, bcs i don't have enough samples what if i used only 2 g of oil, do i need to divide all mixtures by 5? Please reply me
Irfan Ali, Thanks for your question. Yes adding Phenolphthalein twice is needed for this test. First time Phenolphthalein is added to carry out the neutralizing titration. Second time, it is added for the Acid Value determination titration. Both are needed because during boiling Phenolphthalein activity is lost in heat. So you have to add Phenolphthalein again before starting the Second & Final titration. We will try to upload a video for rancidity test very soon. Stay with us.
Some measures of free fatty acids use KOH as the standard while others use NaOH. To convert from KOH to NaOH, multiply by 40/56.11. Likewise, multiply by 56.11/40 for the opposite conversion. This ratio is just the molecular weight of NaOH to KOH.
To be clear, the AOAC method uses KOH. If you're titrating with KOH, just use the KOH MW (56.11) instead of 40, and you'll have the right acid value according to the AOAC method.
How to calculate the acid number of a mixture of oil? If i want the total mixture of oil is 10 gram and i have 2 oil with diffent acid number. One is 0,1 and the other 4. How much of each of these oils? Thank you
hi is acid value depends upon the number of grams of fat taken. i take normally 1 gm of mustard oil to calculate ffa .what should be its range in that case
If you dont have any reference expected value then test your sample twice or thrice asuming high, medium & low acid value. After performing the three tests you will get an idea about the acid value of your sample.
Kindly told me What is the procedure to Determine Free Acid, Total Phosphorus Pentoxide and Water Soluble Phosphorus Pentoxide Presents in Single Super Phosphate ??? It's Urgent
Different oils have different ranges and you need to adjust your sample weight accordingly. I work at a bioethanol plant that produces distiller's corn oil, which has a very high free fatty acid content (about 15-25). For this, about 0.5 g is appropriate. There's a chart early in the video that gives the right sample weight for different expected FFA concentration ranges.
It would help to add it to your flask. But ultimately it doesn't matter as long as it's totally dissolved in your ethanol before you do your titration.
It gives you a measure of how much of the fatty acids in a sample of fat/oil are free fatty acids, as opposed to being bound to glycerol as triglycerides. This matters for several reasons depending on the application - for instance, high free fatty acids can help oils to go rancid faster, or for biodiesel free fatty acids will be turned into soap, which will interfere with the process by forming emulsions or (if it makes it into the final product) damaging engines and fuel filters.
NOTE: There is a mistake in the formulae of acid value, mentioned in this video, and the formulae for FFA is not given in this video.
Both corrected formulae & calculations of Acid value and FFA are given below:
*Acid value (as oleic acid) = 56.1×V×N
---------------
W
So, Acid Value (mg/g) = 1.6
*Free fatty acids (as oleic acid)= 28.2×V×N
---------------
W
So, FFA = 0.805 percent by weight
i have noticed in the early video, thank you for correction!
@@AriffMahtar Actually we did a silly mistake in the calculation. Please ingore it.
Isn't 56.1 the molecular weight for KOH.. And you used NaOH in the experiment
@@crayversace2804 AOAC method said to use 56.1 as the factor of this calculation for in both of the cases whether you use 0.1N KOH or 0.1N NaOH solution.
So what would the formula be if I used 0.1 KOH, 10 grams of oil, and had a titration volume of 0.76

Some measures of free fatty acids use KOH as the standard while others use NaOH. To convert from KOH to NaOH, multiply by 40/56.11. Likewise, multiply by 56.11/40 for the opposite conversion. This ratio is just the molecular weight of NaOH to KOH.
To be clear, the AOAC method uses KOH. If you're titrating with KOH, just use the KOH MW (56.11) instead of 40, and you'll have the right acid value according to the AOAC method.
Yes, absolutely
Thanks a lot..but i have a question, this method is also applicable to virgin coconut oil
Yes.
After neutralizing ethanol just add to sample and titrate
Why boiling??
For melting, dissolving and mixing of oil with ethanol
What was the actual temperature of the Hot Stirrer during heating the sample with the neutralizing Ethanol? Thanks for your prompt feedback.
You need to heat just at the boiling point of the ethanol. May be at 80 degree Celsius.
@@MicroChemsExperiments thank you very much!!!
@@AshishKumar-rf5tv you are welcome Sir
Hi. Where can we get the official copy of this method? is it available online?
Not available at online. You can purchase from us. Write us at mail.mic.chem@gmail.com to purchase
Good day is there unit for the acid value ? due he did not write it
Whats the procedure for groundnut oil ?
Same procedure will be applicable for groundnut oil sample.
Thanks a lot for sharing this very informative video. I have a question, can I replace EtOH 96% or 70% instead of 99%?
You can use 96% but not 70%
Can you explain why you perform this test
What is unit for acid value, and you didn't also show the calculation of free fatty acid
Please find the corrected calculations with unit from pinned comment. Thank you
Please Ihave a question, why did you heat the ethanol with sample and what is the time required to heat
Boiling is needed for melting, dissolving and mixing of oil with ethanol. Boil for 1 min
How to calculate the acid number of a mixture of oil? If i want the total mixture of oil is 10 gram and i have 2 oil with diffent acid number. One is 0,1 and the other 4. How much of each of these oils? Thank you
Sorry we are unable to explain for oil mixture.
Hi. Im iranian chemist, why heat erlen before titration? Your erlen contain oil , it leads to increase acid value
AOAC method describe in this way of heating
Thank you so much mam
You are welcome
Hello, is this protocol available for measuring AV of ghee ( butter oil )? and can you mention the link of the AOAC please? Thank you
You can measure the acid value of ghee by this same method.
Can we use methylene blue instead of phenolphthalein? Then what are the procedures?
No. You can't
hi is acid value depends upon the number of grams of fat taken. i take normally 1 gm of mustard oil to calculate ffa .what should be its range in that case
You should take 10g sample
But the molecular weight of naoh is nearly 40 so why we use 56.1 for acid value as you mentioned
You have to use 56.1 for both of NaOH and KOH
It will be same for rice bran oil??
@@lalitverma5279 yes
Please tell me that the determination of Acid value with FFA is different?
Please read the description section
Sir i have a question . Is there any machine available to check moisture for ghee?like the BR check machine .
You can use general moisture analyzer
hi, how do we know the "expected acid value" if let's say I do not know the profile of the oil I am about to test?
If you dont have any reference expected value then test your sample twice or thrice asuming high, medium & low acid value.
After performing the three tests you will get an idea about the acid value of your sample.
Kindly told me What is the procedure to Determine Free Acid, Total Phosphorus Pentoxide and Water Soluble Phosphorus Pentoxide Presents in Single Super Phosphate ??? It's Urgent
Noted. We will develop video later
In our laboratory we are using methanol instead of ethanol, but the results are nearly same, is it possible?
You should use ethanol
Thanks
You are welcome
Dissolve 1gram phenolphthalein indicator powder in 100 ml ethanol? Am I right
Yes right
Can you please provide a documented file or article of the procedure ?
Sorry. We don't provide any document.
Hi, does the mixture have to be heated until boil? if so, how long should i let it boil?
Boil until the oil is dissolved in ethanol completely
Please what is the implication of Acid value on oil quality?
The higher the acid value and free fatty acid content, the lower the quality of the oil
Why added ethanol in sample
AOAC method said so
Every oil acid value ranges from 1-4 if we take 10 gm oil or different oil has different ranges ?
Every oil has the same range
Different oils have different ranges and you need to adjust your sample weight accordingly. I work at a bioethanol plant that produces distiller's corn oil, which has a very high free fatty acid content (about 15-25). For this, about 0.5 g is appropriate. There's a chart early in the video that gives the right sample weight for different expected FFA concentration ranges.
May I know how long did the oil sample+ neutralized alcohol took to boil?
It depends on the temperature you applied. Time doesn't matter, you just need to boil. That's all.
If my sample is margarine (is solid) do I need to melt it first before proceeding with titration?
It would help to add it to your flask. But ultimately it doesn't matter as long as it's totally dissolved in your ethanol before you do your titration.
Correct
Can you please explain what is acid value and why we determine this?
It represent the quality of oil. For more, study with the resources of google
It gives you a measure of how much of the fatty acids in a sample of fat/oil are free fatty acids, as opposed to being bound to glycerol as triglycerides. This matters for several reasons depending on the application - for instance, high free fatty acids can help oils to go rancid faster, or for biodiesel free fatty acids will be turned into soap, which will interfere with the process by forming emulsions or (if it makes it into the final product) damaging engines and fuel filters.
If you use NaOH then the formula should be molecular wt of NaOH
Corrected formula is given in the description section.
